I need some advice so any help would be great. Quick summary below;
- Lived in the UK 2004 to 2011 on student visa (I'm non EU national)
- Met my wife in 2006 Latvian national and had my daughter in 2009.
-In 2011 January moved to Dubai
-2012 moved back to UK with EEA family permit
-Got my EEA Residence Card in Sept 2012 with validity until Sept 2017
-Got job in Ireland so moved again in January 2013 to Ireland and after many hurdles got EU Fam in June 2014 with validity of July 2019
I moved to Ireland only because of good job offer and now based on my career I have been asked by my employer to move back to London office which works well for my family. My wife also wants to go back anyway and my daughter will be happy as well.
My question is;
1- do I need to apply EEA Family permit again for UK or could I just move using my EEA Residence card with validity of 2017 and as soon as I move and settle then I can apply EEA Residence Card again?
2- Is there anyway I could try for Permanent residency in the UK taking my stay in Ireland in to account or it doesn't work that way?
If I apply EEA family permit that can put my job in jeopardy as it will only have 6 months expiry so I will need to decide whether I should go or not.
Please let me know the best way to deal with the situation
